Feminism™ Empowerment when we like it. Misogyny when we don’t.

dumblr--feminist-deactivated201

we dont teach men anything. We teach women to walk with pepper spray at night, or dont go somewhere alone. But we dont even tell men 'dont rape someone.'

Are you fucking kidding me with this? Really? In fact with how feminists are now fond of having slut walks where all they do is scream “NO MEANS NO” how in the world are you going to tell me no one ever teaches men not to rape? Who, in first world countries, is teaching men to rape? Huh? Because last I checked rape was a scare tactic to keep men from doing stuff. Ever hear anyone tell a guy “Have fun getting raped in jail” when they do something wrong? Because that’s a scare tactic quite often used.

Trust me, just about 99% of the population knows rape is bad! maybe even 100%. The thing is, rapists do not fucking care if they rape anyone. If you are going to sit here and tell me that men rape cause no one really teaches them that it’s bad, you have got to be some kind of moron. The real problem is feminists have defined and trivialized the term rape to a point where it means “anything a guy does that I don’t like”. You have redefined rape, you have trivialized it, if anything is doing anything bad or awful with rape it’s the damn feminists not men.

Well in that case I’m tired of seeing all these black girls straightening their hair and getting weaves.

See how stupid that sounds.

theracismrepellent

you are racist and ableist. Cornrows is part of black culture, which has been mocked by white people. But yet whities still love to steal…

the-heavens-speak

You are hilarious. You call me racist yet you are referring to white people as pale faces and whitie. Shall I call you dark face or blackie? Oh wait that’s racist.

Any race can wear their hair in cornrows or wear their hair straight, wearing your hair a certain way because you like the way it looks is not appropriation.

Here’s the history of corn rows by the way :

A traditional way of styling hair throughout North Africa, East Africa, and West Asia, depictions of women with cornrows have been found in Stone Age paintings in the Tassili Plateau of the Sahara that have been dated as far back as 3000 B.C.[2] This tradition of female styling in cornrows has remained popular throughout Africa, particularly in North, East, and West Africa.[3] Historically, male styling with cornrows can be traced as far back as the early nineteenth century to Ethiopia, where warriors and kings such as Tewodros II and Yohannes IV were depicted wearing cornrows.

Outside of Africa and Asia, cornrows have also been worn and depicted in Europe, particularly in Greek and Roman art, and may have had a similar presence in Celtic culture.

Cornrows made a comeback in the 1960s and ’70s, and again during the ’90s.[4]

So in other words corn rows can be found in MANY cultures not just black.

theracismrepellent

I’m not black, or dark? So like that would be kind of odd to call me don’t you think? Though I’m sure the other mods on here would just love to hear the racist commentary you are saying. And yes. You are a racist piece of scum. Guess what. You aren’t fucking oppressed. You won’t experience racism ever in your life whitie. Black people have been mocked for their hair styles by white people for hundreds of years. Whities are the ones who created the whole “light skin smooth hair is beautiful” fucking belief that affect POC subconsciously and make it hard for POC to see their own beauty. Y’all love to make fun of black peoples appearances until it’s “hip and trendy” then you want black culture, just not the racism. White people who culturally appropriate will never experience the racism that goes along with that culture. Nor is culture ever meant to be shared. I’m done talking to your racist mayo ass if you aren’t willing to respect POC or black culture. Have a great life looking 80 when you’re 40 cracker.

OP thinks racism works both ways and totally ignores sociocultural background of PoC lol

imadeatyop

Awwww right /cracks knuckles.

1. Fucking stop lumping us PoC together to further your point. Every group that has more melanin than a Caucasian deserves to be called their ethnicity: Korean, Chinese, Chilean, Indian, etc. Placing us into one big group strips us of our cultural diversity and identity and is pretty demeaning.

2. The desire for pale skin has actually been around in East Asia before they made contact with Europeans.

3. Let the hypocrisy in that post speak for itself LOL

Nor is culture ever meant to be shared.

Evolution must be pretty embarrassed to see this person as its pinnacle.

oscarborn2bwilde-deactivated202

Okay, okay calm down, people.

While you are all losing your mind over ‘cultural appropriation” of an Indian dress, nobody actually consulted THE INDIANS.

In our country, if a foreigner wears an Indian saree, we actually appreciate it. It shows that the foreigner respects us enough to try our clothes. And the saree, mind you, is not a religious thing. Hindus can wear sarees, Muslims can wear sarees, Sikh’s can wear sarees, Jain’s can wear sarees and so on.

Like Americans have short dresses, compare that with sarees. Going to a party? Saree. Going to temple? Saree, and so on.

Some Indians wear it, some don’t. Some hate it and think its oppressing, some love embracing the unique style.

Point is, don’t hate on her for wearing this. Don’t hate on anyone for wearing sarees or any variations of sarees. We love to see others embracing our culture. Why do you think we open our gates to allow everyone to practice yoga and find spiritual meaning?

Culture is not meant to be kept within four walls, it should be spread.

Sad fact is, the Desi girl who wrote this is currently getting death threats and hatemail from SJWs calling her a race traitor and telling her she has internalised racism.

Lovely. Bravo SJWs: you are so obsessed with your American Saviorism and White Teenager’s Burden that you are actually attacking people who are a part of the culture for not submitting to your pro-segregation agenda.

this means a lot, my boyfriend considers him self fat no matter what I tell him. One of my best guy friends thinks no one will date him because he is over weight which is the most un true thing every. All guys bodies are attractive.

This means a lot to me too because my boyfriend also thinks he’s fat regardless of what I say. The saddest day was when I watched him step on a scale and get sad at a number he saw. Spread the love.

It’s not just the guys that are overweight either. One of my best friends is constantly poked fun at for being really skinny and he’s super self conscious about it. It’s just sad

adultprivilege

Adult privilege is my parents being able to enter our rooms, remove our doors, and invade our private lives simply because they pay for the house. By that logic, landlords also have the right to enter apartments without consent simply because they own the land. And they can’t speak about the issue of rent because children pay in work and chores that often go unnoticed.

Usually I laugh at most SJW posts but this one just depresses me because I know how hard my parents work and sometimes it saddens me that I may not be able to repay what they did, what they do and what they'll do. And this idiot comes up. Siiigh

plebcomics

The level of cruelty you are directing at Zoe Quinn, and the glee you clearly take in it, is disgusting. In what universe is drawing pornographic images of a real person, especially when that person has publicly asked that this behavior stop, something acceptable? You claim that this is about "ethics" but holy fuck do you demonstrate your complete lack of such by doing what you're doing.

youre jumping on my case for DRAWING “pornographic” images of her when she fucking sells her nudes online. showing WAAAAAAY more than what my pics have or ever will, might i add

ill stop posting “pornography” of her as soon as she and all the dudes that shes fucked step up and acknowledge their shittiness and address the situation, fire all of those involved in the cover up, and iunno, kiss the fattest part of my ass

thespectacularspider-girl

This is what bugs me about her fucking claiming people spreading her nude photos is harassment. She did the shoots. She did them for money. She proudly acknowledged the fact that she did porn in many of her online profiles.

Those nude photos are not her property anymore. They were sold, freely, and she had no issue with them

She is using the fact that her nudes were on the internet as an attempt to garner sympathy, hoping people don’t even do cursory research on this matter to find out that, big surprise, they were always out there and she had no problem with them until she could use them to act like a victim.

sobercommunist

Uh-huh, because having nudes on the internet gives anybody free reign to do exactly what they want with them. They can send them to your mom! Send them to your kids! Send them to other young relatives! Plaster them all over your place of work! Distribute them on little flyers in the street! Send them to your grandma! Send them to your exes! Send them to your current partners! Send them to your boss and your coworkers!

None of that is wrong, because you apparently have no right to images of your body!

thespectacularspider-girl

Correct. There is nothing wrong about the fact that they are handing THOSE images to those people. In particular, your images. Handing over pornography to a child or your grandmother? Sure, that’s a dick and gross thing to do (and illegal if it is a child) but that’s all it is. Dickish.

This is like if she came forward and said “I hate gay people” on the internet or in a public speech, and then somebody decided to hand that out as a flier. She put out that information, those images, with her consent. She has no room to call it unethical that those images reached people she knew and they impacted their opinions of her.

If you do porn shoots, don’t be surprised when those images become publicly available. And if your family, friends or co-workers come across them, so be it.

Oh, and you forget that when she was just starting out she openly admitted to doing porn shoots on her various profiles.

sobercommunist

Wow, can’t believe an anti-sj blogger is coming out to defend what is essentially revenge porn. I am shocked to my very core.

If you really need me to explain the difference between exposing racists and maliciously spreading nude images of a person, well, I’m not sure what to say. I actually have conflicting feelings about the former!

But to anyone with a functioning conscience, spreading nude pictures of a person, even a person who consented to have those pictures taken, in order to shame them and attack their sexuality is way over the line. Is it legal? Sure. Is that the point? Nooooooope.

imadeatyop

I do agree that one should not spread nude photos with only ill intentions. Regardless of what she did, she doesn't deserve that kind of treatment.

However, she suddenly had an issue with people distributing the very photos that were taken with you know... the purpose of distribution. You can't just suddenly cease anything on the internet Is it wrong to attach sexuality or use those photos to demean her? Yes. Is it wrong to simply share those particular photos without any ill intentions? No.

Should her personal life and body be a major topic in this entire shitstorm? Probably not, but it is inevitable since it started from infidelity. There is a lot of crazy in both polar sides of the shitstorm.

realgirlsgaming

Please please please do a little research about Zoe and what is going on in this situation. She is not being attacked. Nobody has attacked her. Nobody cares if she is a girl. People care about the journalists that published work about her, are sleeping with her. This isn't about feminism or anything like that. This is about journalistic integrity, and the lack thereof.

Oh for Fucks SAKE Anon.

First of all, her experience as a woman in the industry is valid.

Second, given the choice, I will ALWAYS believe the actual person’s version over a bunch of internet trolls, unless there is plenty of evidence to suggest otherwise. I linked an article here that ZOE QUINN wrote. On her Tumblr. And she says very clearly she is being attacked, her family and friends are being attacked.

Third, I did do some basic research and looky what I found:

http://kotaku.com/in-recent-days-ive-been-asked-several-times-about-a-pos-1624707346/all

http://www.dailydot.com/geek/zoe-quinn-depression-quest-gaming-sex-scandal/

What this amounts to is nothing! There is no proof she did anything other then date some asshole that decided to then to get back at her via the hate filled internet. Would this have happened if she hadn’t been a women? Doubtful.

As for journalistic integrity, well, thats quite naive of you to think that journalistic integrity still exists. Especially in the game industry. Very very very naive.

thespectacularspider-girl

Sorry but she did do what she did. People, including the girlfriends and wives of those she’s cheated on, have come forward. The boyfriend has copious amounts of proof and has gone out of his way to disprove cries that he faked them.

Meanwhile, Zoe Quinn has no proof. Not only does she lack proof, she has a history of lying. Nevermind the proof the ex boyfriend has, it is confirmed she fabricated the Wizard-Chan harassment and that she faked a ‘hack attack’ against her Tumblr to garner sympathy.

On top of that it is confirmed that she has doxxed, slandered and harassed the Fine Young Capitalists and their charity event that was set up to introduce women to game development.

ON TOP OF THAT she tries to play the victim by claiming people are spreading nude photos of her, when the reality is that those nude photos are from a softcore porno shoot she willingly participated in and was paid money for.

Even on top of that she is confirmed to have cheated. And she has been confirmed to say, on her twitter, that “Cheating is practically rape because you rob the people being cheated on of consent”. So I guess that means, by her own definition, she has raped her boyfriend and her boss’ wife.

You’re taking the word of a liar over that of actual proof. You say you always take a person’s word over trolls, which is awfully convenient when you paint her ex-boyfriend as a troll. I guess you won’t be taking him at his word. You hypocrite.

Lets be fucking honest here. You don’t care about who said what. You don’t care that the ex has documented proof or what he has to say. You only care what Zoe Quinnhas to say about it.

realgirlsgaming

Because she’s a girl. Which is insulting as shit because not only do plenty of girls despise her now for her actions, which we fucking should, she has actively reinforced the stereotype that girls in gaming have to sleep around to garner power and influence, instead of based on merit. Even if you’re a feminist you should be fucking livid over this because a woman using her sex and vagina to climb to the top stands against everything you stand for.

Don’t try to act unbiased here. You are extremely biased and willfully blinding yourself to any and all proof that says she’s guilty.

I usually dont engage in flaming wars but today you get to be special. Okay lets look at all your various points.

So she cheated? Who cares? Are you the wife? Are you the ex boyfriend? I certainly am not and could care less what she does in her private life. The boyfriend on the other hand has made it incredibly clear he wasn’t okay with it. As for the Wife, she should be pissed at her husband. He is the one who broke his promise.

Besides when it comes to the whole sleeping with the boss thing, thats pretty much feminism 101, the power dynamics there make her the victim, not the aggressor. And if she had felt like she needed to sleep with her boss to get a promotion, it makes me really really sad, and I would have to say we need feminism more then ever.

All her other online activities that you mentioned make it very clear that you DID NOT READ her post. It is about her private life.

So from what you are saying if someone is a shitty person and has done shitty things its okay to systematically harass them and their friends and their family? Or are you saying she is lying about all the harassment and no shit is being flung her way? (Then again the shit you are flinging should answer that.)

Wow, you’re kind of an ass hole. Seriously, there are known rapists and child molesters out there who dont see nearly this amount of harassment. COME ON, get some perspective.

As for victim blaming, yes, I do believe the victim. I do not believe she deserves to be systematically harassed and have her pictures used for malicious intent. Regardless if she was paid to take the pictures or not. And that’s what her post was about, if you had read it you would know. Its about the harassment she is experiencing, her private life, not addressing the other stuff.

As for proof, I was asked to do a basic search and I did and found some insightful articles, that I linked, and you also clearly didn’t read.

You are right that I dont care about what the boyfriend said or about his proof or whatever (also makes me wonder why you take his word, when he clearly has a revenge plan, which is gross. Move on already.) WHAT I CARE ABOUT IS THE HARASSMENT! I DONT SUPPORT INTERNET BULLYING EVEN OF SHITTY PEOPLE, EVEN OF PEOPLE I DONT AGREE WITH. (You should seriously consider trying not to bully people on the internet to get your point across. It doesn’t work and makes you sound like an asshole!)

Yes because she is a girl, because girls on the internet and in the gaming world suffer worse harassment then should be allowed and because my blog is about WOMEN’S EXPERIENCE IN THE GAMING WORLD!

Gees lady, why are you so angry about this? Because she lied, cheated, tried to get a promotion? Are you also angry with the entire male population?

As for the other stuff she supposedly did (I dont know, it wasn’t the point of the entire thread) if it was shitty then it would have been great to address it. Sadly the crappy ass boyfriend mixed it in with his hurt feeling and and now its been mixed up with her love life and nude pictures. Forever more. It would have been great had some shady activity been brought up by the actual victims and gotten proper media coverage. Sadly that ship has sailed and you can thank your supposed revenge source the ex.

I’m done, I hope your day looks up. Go punch a pillow or something.

thespectacularspider-girl

1.a. No, I am not either. The issue is that she cheated on people in the industry, like her boss and various gaming journalists. When your private life is suddenly being used as a way to gain power and influence in your professional life, it no longer becomes private.

1.b. She should be mad at both. Despite what Zoe said, the wife called her out on lying. Zoe knew he was married. It takes two to cheat and she cheated on her boyfriend with her boss, who she knew was married. That speaks world about her character.

1.c. I’m curious what you think about the CaH being accused of rape. Or what about Josh Matting who made sexual comments to a female game dev? Are you defending him and his privacy?

2.a. So you’re saying that because he’s her boss, she had to sleep with him, huh? Okay. So what about the other 4 (and now I’m hearing 6) guys she slept with? Guess what? If it was JUST her boss, you might have had a point. But it wasn’t just her boss. It was more. Which is why your argument is bullshit. She cheated, repeatedly, on her boyfriend. Sorry, you don’t get to handwave that away with ‘power dynamics’. There are other female devs who don’t get ahead by sleeping around.

3a. Yes, I’m saying she’s lying about the harassment. You wanna know why? Because the ‘doxx’ that she got provided false information that didn’t hurt her and WAS NOT VIABLE WITH HOW TUMBLR WORKS, MEANING SHE HAD TO BE THE ONE WHO ‘HACKED’ HERSELF. Do you not get this? She faked being hacked. She lied.

3.b. And on top of that, it was proven that she faked harassment in the past too. The Wizard-Chan debacle was proven to be concocted purely by her. So here you are, trying to call me out on suggesting that a person, who has no twice been caught falsifying that she’s been harassed, might be lying about being harassed.

4.a. You’re right. Just like, I dunno, all the harassment JonTron got for using ‘retarded’. I guess he didn’t deserve that harassment because there are rapists and nazis who don’t get harassed that much. Too bad people are being fucking consistent and attacking Zoe just like she was a guy who fucked up.

5.a. You call her the victim. When she’s been proven to fake harassment and uses images that were already on the internet as proof of being attacked. Get the fuck out. You call her the victim, yet you don’t give a damn about the people who actually were ruined by her actions. You don’t care about the victim, you care about her because she’s a girl.

6.a. You clearly don’t care about the boyfriend? Well good. I guess leaking the information that she is corrupt and unprofessional wasn’t a good idea, right? Nevermind that if he didn’t, this would’ve all stayed quiet. I guess you blame Monica Lowinski for outing Bill Clinton, right?

7a.. Because she’s a girl. Glad you’re admitting to be entirely and blindly biased, to the point where you’ll defend a monstrous person just because they’re a girl. Me? I actually want equal treatment. I’m a girl. And guess what? I think she’s deplorable and actually setting women back in the industry. An industry I want to get into. Heaven fucking forbid she be treated EXACTLY like how other people treat male game devs who fuck up this bad.

But then again, it is very likely you don’t care about equal treatment. You just want to make sure Zoe keeps on being a victim, keeps hiding behind that shield, so she can’t take responsibility for her actions, both personal and professional.

And yes, I’m angry about this. Like fucking swaths of female gamers like me, like other girls who want to get into the industry. Because, first, she’s fucking around and making women in the industry look bad by perpetuating the stereotype. And second, because dipshits like you, who only care about defending her because of her vagina, allow her to get away with it, instead of making the industry look good for actually TREATING the corrupting.

You are defending this woman’s actions when, if women actually wanted fair and equal treatment, you wouldn’t’ fucking treat her like a child who didn’t know better. You’d force her to accept responsibility for her actions. You know what Josh Matting did when it came forward that he sexually harassed somebody? He fucking resigned, publicly apologized and the game media talked about it.

You want to treat Zoe Quinn like a saint and a baby. I want to treat her like a fucking adult who fucked up. Maybe that’s because I actually want equality and I don’t need to shove my fucking gender into everything.

We’re done here. You’re biased and you’re going to keep defending this monster no matter what she’s done. You are part of the problem. You are contributing to it. You’re shielding her because she’s being harassed, instead of just saying the harassment is wrong and condemning her actions.

I’ll be here, actually thinking women are smart and capable enough to be responsible and intelligent.
